Wonky Minds Counselling and Psychotherapy offers a variety of counselling services including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy.
Integrative counselling is the use of a variety of different types of therapy depending on what the client needs. Sometimes elements of different therapies will be combined or sometimes one will be used on its own. You can find a much longer explanation here.
A counseling session with Wonky Minds Counselling and Psychotherapy typically lasts for 50 minutes, although session length may vary depending on your specific needs and preferences.
During your first session, I will run through what to expect from therapy and we will co-create a contract for our sessions. I will then ask you questions to get to know you better and understand what brings you to counselling. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the counselling process and we will decide together whether this is the right support for you moving forwards. The initial session may not take the whole 50 minutes as it is more of an information gathering and contracting session. If you wish to book another session straight away I will be happy to do so if we have agreed to work together but if you would like some reflection time before committing to therapy that is fine as well.
In short, as many as you feel you need. Some people feel that short term support is what they need, while others may find long term support more effective. The frequency of sessions will be discussed in the first session. Weekly sessions can be overwhelming, so I am more than happy to arrange to see you fortnightly or even monthly depending on what will work best for you.
Following the initial session I will be happy to discuss block bookings if this feels right. Any block bookings will be flexible as to when the sessions take place, but sessions will still be subject to my cancellation policy.
I appreciate that sometimes life can get in the way so I will be happy to reschedule any session cancelled more than 24 hours before the session is due to take place. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will not be refunded, but a future session can be booked for a later date.
I don't keep typical office hours so I can flexible with this. I am happy to book evening sessions Monday - Friday ending no later than 8pm.
